Holland said that years earlier, after two of her close friends had their first child together, they became so deadlocked on the name issue that they refused to complete the birth certificate. More than a week passed without them being allowed to leave the hospital. With insurance refusing to cover the extended stay, Holland said, the couple’s medical bill totaled more than $300,000.

Fortunately, Holland had Humphrey, who tinkered with variants of Priscilla until she uncovered a middle name the couple could agree upon: Lily. The impasse ended minutes before Holland’s mandated discharge time.
